Product information:

Arbutin is a safety whitening ingredient and suitable for all skin types. Arbutin achieves whitening effect by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular choice for a brighter, more even complexion without the irritating effects of other common lightening ingredients. Arbutin is a glycosylated hydroquinone derivative that exists in two isomeric forms: α-arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl-α-glucopyranoside) and β-arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl-β-glucopyranoside). Research shows that α-arbutin is resistant to light and heat, making it more stable and 10 times more potent than β-arbutin.
